Crystal Palace may have just received a massive boost to sign Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard this summer.
Edouard has entered the final year of his Hoops contract, and the Bhoys are ready to offload him at the right price.
Brighton are thought to be leading the race to sign the 23-year-old striker, with Rudy Galetti even claiming that they have made a formal bid of €25 million to sign him.
However, the latest report from Argus suggests that Brighton are not at all interested in signing the striker.
A well-placed source have told them: “Reports that keep emerging are completely false.”
Leicester City and West Ham United were heavily linked with Edouard earlier this summer, but Palace may have a chance here to wrap up the deal for him.
The Eagles are long-term admirers of Edouard, and they are keeping tabs on the striker after former PSG mentor Said Aigoun joined Patrick Vieira’s backroom staff.
Edouard has been one of the consistent players for Celtic in the past few years. He wasn’t at his best last season, but still impressed with 22 goals and six assists from 40 appearances across all competitions.
He has proved his class in the Scottish league and would be keen to prove his talent in the Premier League as well. In terms of numbers, he looks like an upgrade on the existing options at Palace.
Meanwhile, Palace are looking to bolster their defence this summer, and they have been linked with a move for Joachim Andersen. The London outfit are also reportedly in talks to sign Ozan kabak.
